I'm offered a choice of either Turkish or English when I openthe page. The translation isn't perfect - it transmorgrified the kitten into a puppy, for instance.

Like every mother, animals do everything to protect their offspring. The best example of this was that the mother cat took her sick puppy to the emergency room of a hospital. Merve Özcan, who shared the photos taken by Merve Özcan on her Twitter account, carried her sick pup in her mouth and took it to the hospital and asked for help from the healthcare providers.

The emergency staff helped the kittens immediately, and the mother cat did not leave the doctors and nurses and followed her kittens.

While the little puppy was being cared for, the mother and the cat were given milk and food. Hospital staff provided their full treatment by directing them to their vet after their intervention.

There were city stray dogs that used to ride subways. I can't remember which city it was in. I saw the video of it back in the 90s. Animals are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. They watch us. Let's put it this way, animals learn our words and commands for tricks we teach them. We tend not to learn their words or commands, unless they are cats. Cats have a way of making your see what they want, one way or another. Cats might be the ones who finally learn to outright say things to us in English first. Too bad the first thing they will say is something derogatory toward us, lol. You know how cats are though. Cats wouldn't be cats without sarcasm. I love cats.

I wonder if the kitten made it and what was wrong. Was it ok?
